Tech Tree and Script.txt Tutorial

[Gray Wolf]

Sorry to jump in once again, but the pic you pointed to is not from Conquest, it is from the "vanilla" Civ3 game. I don't know how you got to play Conquest with Vanilla rules, but it is not a true Conquest game. The tech tree I posted is the standard Conquest tech tree for an epic game without any alteration of the rules. The Conquest.biq uses Radio for sure, the pic I posted came from it.

I think I found the answer to this.

I bought Civ 3 Complete which installs Conquests version 1.22.

The readme.txt file that comes with the game (attached) has a section that describes all corrections and changes that were done in versions 1.20+

Here's a list of some of the changes that were made in v 1.20:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SID MEIER'S CIVILIZATION III: Conquests README
...

v1.20 Fixes, Changes, Additions
...
Changes:
* Histograph keeps tracking defeated Civs
* Electronics requirement removed from Motorized Transportation
* Radio Tech removed
* Civil Defense requires Electronics
* Advanced Flight now requires Electronics
* Radar Towers require Advanced Flight

...

----------------------------------------------------------------------

So there were earlier versions of Civ3 that used the Radio Tech and I guess you are using an earlier version of the conquests.biq file.

I'm going to re-word the script.txt section of my tutorial and emphasize how all techs need to be a mirror image of the .BIQ file list and be in the same order. And I'll let people know that if they are using Conquests 1.20+, they will need to remove the radio tech. (DONE)

My conquest.biq has never used Radio either...

I'm glad I'm not the only one where the tech is missing. I was starting to feel like I've been doing something major wrong.

Thanks...

Ok, I revised the tutorial and added images to it. It reads better and the images should help people who are trying to follow what I'm talking about. I welcome any feedback.

Hopefully it is good now though because this is taking a lot of time. It's like a full time job!

Ok, now I wonder why they did remove that tech... Vanilla nostalgia ?
Fishlens, be sure your work is appreciated. Tutorial threads don't get as many comments as units threads or graphics modpacks but they are generally "saved for later use" and may last longer

Yea, me too. I have no idea.

Fishlens, be sure your work is appreciated.

Thanks, I appreciate it. And it's good that you raised questions about the Radio tech because it helped me revise the tutorial and make it better...
